Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Jim, who is from Canada, is seeking a Willys swap meet in the upper Michigan area. Anyone know of any?
“I’m looking for info about Willys swap meets in upper Michigan or close to the border on your side. I can’t find anything on this side of the border. Two or three hours on your side would be great.”

OBSTICLE COURSE
FLAT DRAGS: Kempton EC4WDA Jeep Racing – October 2009

Here is a shot of the motor:

As I was looking for a picture of Indian Uprising’s engine, I came across this flyer. As the flyer indicates, it was a special gathering of old racers and racing jeeps. I thought this was a fun idea and thought the PNW4WDA might think about that (or maybe they already have).
Here is a link to a page that shows some of the old jeeps that were on display at Jeep Fan.
Here is one of the old flatties that was shown:
Tim asked me to put together a little about myself and eWillyls for him to publish. You can check out what I wrote over at WillysJeep.com. (or the full post here)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Looks like it was purchase from Herm.

“fresh 231 2bbl w/electronic distributor, original axles & trans, winch, clear title. Not beautiful, but lotsa fun.”
There’s been some work done. There is definitely value here.
“This is a partially restored 1956 Willy’s M38A1(similar to CJ-5) It was modified significantly from original by the previous owner. I started refurbishing it to running condition again and have lost the interest and time to work on it. There is no engine, the motor mounts are set up for a small block Chevy. Included but not pictured is the rebuilt T-90 3 speed tranny and transfer case, and un-restored hood, grill, fenders, dashboard, windshield, rollbar, radiator, seats. Accessories for a small block chevy engine and several boxes of the old parts. It has current Non-Op CA Title. Asking $1000 OBO.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $88
(02/15/2011) This looks like a good price.
“Complete one piece TUB, no accidents, sitting on it’s side, these are the best pictures, the rust is mainly “surface rust”.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Work has been done, but more to do.
“Very solid, V6 heaters, SM 420 trans, disc brakes p.s., frame is boxed and perfect, brand new springs/shocks/shackles, body is ready to paint, likes very little to finish. I have seats and belts $2500.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(01/14/2011) This runs well, but the body is rough according to the seller. This also has a pop up of some kind on the hood.
“1949 Jeep CJ2A running gear is all original and recently rebuild all bearings and brakes. Drives good, especially for an old Jeep. This probably isn’t a good candidate for a body restoration, but it is one heck of a fun mountain rig. Comes with vintage arctic package hard top and doors with sliding windows. Also comes with tow bar and towing lights, it tows easy and has hubs in the front. Manual 4 speed, PTO take-off. This had been converted to 12v and has an electronic ignition so you don’t have to mess with points. The only gauge that doesn’t work is the fuel gauge and it needs new brake lights.
If interested call Matt at 509-952-2947”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
I suspect the price will drop, but it looks like it has potential.

“SOLD!!! Thanks to all interested! 1961 DJ3A this is one of a few two wheel drive. Drove it around the block roughly a year ago, don’t have time to work on it anymore. First 600 cash takes it home.”
There is a pic, but it is awfully tiny.

I’m taking the night off … See you Friday
Roberto spotted this unusual Mitsuibishi CJ-3B with extended tool indents at Jeep Forum. I’ve not seen anything quite like it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This looks like good price. It has a rare fiberglass CJ-3B body.
“This is my winter project. It isa fiberglassed bodied jeep cj3b. It has a yj suspension with new shocks and springs. Power steering and power brakes are all new with discs in front and stock in rear. All new shoes and cylinders. Also new seals all around. Corbeau seats with 3 point harnesses. New aluminum radiator. New tires and wheels. New Bestop top. New paint, not professional but looks nice. Engine is a chevy 327 and it looks new inside and runs great. The transmission is the original t-90 3 speed with new bearings and syncros. The clutch, pressure plate and throwout bearing is new.
This jeep runs great but with a 327 and 5:38 gears I would not recommend this for a kid. It does make a noise when in 4 wheel drive and I don’t know what it is and don’t want to mess with it right now.”
UPDATE: On further review, I have a number of issues with this jeep, given the price. See comments.
It’s an auction of sorts.
